Battery Replacement Yamaha FZ6 

I watch this video each year before I take my battery out for the winter,. Thanks for the detailed posting and awesome camera and filming. I will look out for more posts by you.

12 years later you posted this video and still helping noobs like me, thank you!

Thank you! Not as straightforward to do on this bike compared to others we've had. Great, clear instructions! Still helping people - Thank you!

Excellent demo. You saved me an $85 transport fee to my dealer. Thanks very much.

Thank you so much - made this battery switch out super easy on my black 2008 FZ6. Excellent and helpful video - and no mice to deal with

I just removed the battery on my FZ6 by following this video. Thanks for the clear instructions.

You sound like peter griffin 😂

Just followed this to replace my dead battery - luckily no mice for me! ;) Thanks for the video, very helpful, I knocked this out in 15 minutes with this as a guide.

It's a reallly good instruction how too remove your battery, even if you are bad in english you can follow your instructions just by looking. Well done 👍😁

Man, you leave in a nice, nice place! Congratulations for your vídeo, and thank's for helping other people with the changing of the battery.

Thank you for the video. I was about to unplug all cables on top of the battery when I watched the video and noticed that this is not necessary.

Well done richpin for that. Just got to find out whether unplugging my Oxford anti-theft device is ok. Many thanks from UK.

I was going to comment that after a battery replacement, you have to ride the bike for, at least 30 minutes, to make sure everything is operational, but you covered that too! LOL Nice video and nice bike!!

Rich you do a good job at showing people how to do things Kudos my friend!!

Great, thank you , just what I was looking for. I am to shift my battery too 👍🏼. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰😀

Very nice video! Easy to follow step-by-step instruction. Good job man! :)

Well done! Thank you so much! 😊

Thanks for making the video it was very instructive and top notch quality.

I love the FZ6, one of my favorite bikes, and definitely the one I would have if I were to buy a bike. Just a great everything bike, I wish I could own one

Great job! Thank you so much for posting it.😃👍🙏

Thanks. Very simple to follow and very clear explanations.

tnx 4 the tutorial man ... i thot my battery was empty so i looked this up to charge it .. but then i found out mice ate my cables during the winter and that is why it dint start ... ... DAMN mice !!!

@joshgrami No it is not mine.

Thanks For Posting Great FZ6 Battery Video..!!! Really Helped Putting Battery Tender Wires On Today. Hope You Got Mouse Issue Under Control. Love The "Car talk" Accent.

Love the FZ6 in black. Looks Sharp!

Hey just stumbled by this video getting ready to replace my battery on my fz6. What do you mean when putting in the new battery by switching the receptors? Thanks great video !

Awesome video very helpful. Which company battery is good man or did you use?

Thank you, really helped me

Thanks a lot for this. Big help.

Great. Did my battery today and its great !!! Thank You

@richpin06a that bike must have been sitting up for while for those mice to make it there home. I ride a gsx 600 I'm just happy to see you promoting safety by wearing a helmet.

Yes they did.

Yes i do that from time to time i forgot were i was at.

Молодец, спасибо брат!

There should be a crooked metal stick tool under the seat cowl to hold the tank up, thats how my GSXR is. Most bikes also have their battery simple under the seat, 2 bolts to remove the seat and get battery out, Yamaha must have been improvising.

the hopper commercial is like a tivo box its on in new york with a family that has a accent like yours,look it up on youtube you will know what i am talking about when you see it.

First ride in 17 years? Wow, what did you do with it for so long? Btw, I didn't really get the mice part. Could you please clarify on what happened there? Thanks for the video.

WOW! Can't believe that would not have affected performance with all that mouse habitat in the intake.

Very good video. Thanks a lot!

Very well done, thank you.

Thank’s!

Very helpful 👍 nice video

Noob question, but... You can touch the bolts with the sockets (on the wrench) right? To remove the battery? I don't want to get shocked..

very simple. thank you

@ryansauto93 The mice liked it too

Hi nice video!!!, is the same procedure to change the air filter? regards from Costa Rica.

good video when r u going to do a video on changing the antifreeze,and by the way r u related to any of the people on the hopper commercial,lol.

Lol rich. I remember you did a video on an old truck. I think you replaced the heater core or something and found a big mice nest. I think ive had birds in my engine before. I found a bunch of bird poop on it one day.

Great video! Thanx!

It is possible that someone added something to the bike.

They chewed up the air cleaner which was replaced.

No I just bought me a 2006 Yamaha Fz6 but when I look up the batteries it has it for a regular fc6 or it says fz6r is there a difference in the batteries and I don't know which one mine is because I haven't got the title back yet and it doesn't say on my registration

made it simple to follow...

@daves567 Nope no camera there.

Do I have do all this for a jump start too?

@andersonvillas1277 i hate those meeces to pieces

thanks a lot for this vid!

Excellent ! Thanks :)

If that is the battery that came with the bike i would buy a new one.

Hopper commercial ?

Nice wheels!

hey rich how long should you keep a battery before you buy a new battery.

Mouse nest was mad of the air filter . didnt you replace the filter?

At 0:15, his FIRST instructions are "NEXT thing you wanna do..." lol. great vid, but i just found that to be hilarious. then again, i am drunk.. :S

Wtf!!! He was so relaxed about the mouse been there!! Fuck the battery i be replacing the air filter 🙈

Thank you!) Russia)

Very good instructive video. But I hope you charged those mice rent. 🙂

hey rich did you replace the insulation the mice chewed up or did you leave it out and what was the insulation for.

i bought a 2005 yamaha yz6 should i buy a new battery,i had the bike in storage for 6 weeks and the battery is dead now i have to charge it up or buy a new battery.

Hi Friend. I just need your help. I also have a fazer 600cc. When you lift up your tank I saw three lines connected to your tank underneath. One main fuel line and two other smaller lines. Those two smaller lines, help me out - where do they connect to. Because my second hand Yamaha does not rubber pipes and when I lift up my tank fuel streams out especially when the tank is full .

Well, mine just died 500 miles from home, thanks for the video! :)

nice home u have

thank you!

Thanks Rich ! :-)

I can not help you there as i do not have a wire diagrams for that bike.

nice bike broski

Good

Hey, can you tell me what's on the battery and air filter? Did you put it yourself?

Bonjour Plazza. C'est le nid d'un souris avec de la laine de coton peut-être?

Hilarious. Wonder if the mouse went on rides with you. Should have got a nice performance gain with a new air filter.

Wow I thought the battery removal on my wife’s Dodge Avenger was a nightmare. What are the Engineer’s thinking when they design these vehicles?

It's in the filter? What mineral wool?

daum!...first time ive seen something like that

I'm surprised how difficult it is to get at that battery. It looks like he doesn't take the battery out for winter. When discharged, batteries have a much higher freezing temp, making an uncharged battery vulnerable to low life because of winter freezing. Maybe the mice kept it warm enough to prevent that, ha ha.

hi,do you have the model or reference of the batt? thanks

Damn, now I have to go check and make sure no mice are living in my bike.

I'm looking to put an FZ6R seat on an FZ6 - does anyone know if it will fit? I am willing to attach the 2pc into one if I need to.

is that same for 2008 too? i heard it is under the tank..!

So you have to go through this everytime the battery drains?

This guy sounds just like Ray Romano

my English is not that good, what was the brown stuff on the battery and intake section?

Mice...like...actual mice? That's crazy...mice? I had my '82 corolla sit for months but...never attracted mice...I've had my own motorcycle sit up for awhile and...no mice...hehe--that's just a bit funny :)

Hey Robert. I have some videos on my channel that may help you out with your battery.

Is this yours?

skip to 3:58

what year is your bike.

what's the mess?

Is that Peter Griffins voice? 😅

Eu am facut altfel. Fără să scot carenele.

how in the heck did tat thing evan get air ???????? :O
